Why am I involved in “Arul Trust”? – Today: Kammersänger Wilfried Staber
The 2nd chairman of the Arul Trust eV support association, Christian Sych, was in conversation with association member Wilfried Staber from Leimen.
The chamber singer Wilfried Staber is particularly well-known in the region for his singing engagement as bass in the theater and orchestra of the city of Heidelberg. The Austrian native has lived with his family in Leimen since 2009. His wife Nicole is the director of the Leimen music school; his children Anselm and Emilia are altar boys in the Catholic parish of the Sacred Heart.
When asked why Wilfried Staber is involved in the Arul Trust eV support association, he answers very clearly: "I value Arul Lourdu very much; as a person, as a pastor, as a priest. I think Arul Lourdu's passionate commitment here in Leimen and the surrounding area, but also his commitment to the poor in his old homeland in India, is great. It is a "luxury" to have someone like Arul Lourdu who, with his personal integrity and local knowledge, can provide help directly to the people who need it."
Wilfried Staber would be happy if his example could inspire other people to support the association’s goals.
Our first Christmas market appearance in Leimen
For the first time since our association was founded, we ran a hut at the traditional Leimen Christmas market. Our Indian sisters cooked delicious food together, which everyone could try. There was Tamil rice with meat or vegetables. Dessert was also provided. There were salty and sweet delicacies. Of course, mulled wine was a must. Anyone who wanted could try Indian black tea, which was refined with spices. The creative women's group from Nußloch made door and Advent wreaths for the association. Decorated Christmas trees to hang up, homemade jams and much more were also sold.
We would like to thank everyone who made it possible for our stand to take place at the Christmas market, who visited us and who, through their purchases, helped to support new social projects around the world.
